Analysis of ovaries in studies of reproduction in red deer (Cervus elaphus, L.): Application and limitations
A set of definitions for luteal structures and their regressing stages in red deer ovaries is suggested. Structural characteristics in ovaries pertaining to reproductive analysis is compiled from relevant literature and combined with observations from the present study. Luteal structures and their r...

A set of definitions for luteal structures and their regressing stages in red deer ovaries is suggested. Structural characteristics in ovaries pertaining to reproductive analysis is compiled from relevant literature and combined with observations from the present study.

Primary corpus luteum (PCL), corpus luteum of pregnancy (CLV), and corpus rubrum (CR) are the most important structures in the quantitative analysis of reproduction, and they may be identified at a macroscopic level. However, confusion with other structures is conceiveable, and for an accurate analysis microscopic -examination of histological preparations is necessary.
